Oracle HTTP Server

Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) is an enterprise-grade web server based on the Apache HTTP Server that is optimized for Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle application deployments. The server acts as a front-end web server and reverse proxy for Oracle WebLogic Server, Oracle Application Server, and other Oracle middleware components. Oracle HTTP Server includes Oracle-specific modules and extensions for load balancing, SSL acceleration, security, and integration with Oracle Web Cache and Oracle Access Manager. It supports static content serving, dynamic content proxying, URL rewriting, and request routing to backend application servers based on configurable rules. OHS provides advanced features like WebLogic Server clustering support, session affinity (sticky sessions), and connection pooling for optimal performance. The server includes security enhancements for authentication, authorization, SSL/TLS termination, and protection against common web vulnerabilities. Oracle HTTP Server is typically deployed in high-availability configurations with clustering and failover capabilities for mission-critical applications. It's commonly used in Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle PeopleSoft, Oracle JD Edwards, and custom Java EE application deployments. The server is supported on multiple platforms including Linux, Solaris, and Windows, and is included with Oracle Fusion Middleware licenses.
